China's Jiayu Liu mounted a challenge to Kim, but it wasn't quite enough, and she won silver with a high score of 89.75 from her three runs.

"I knew if I went home with the gold medal knowing that I could do better, I wasn't going to be very satisfied", Kim said. "Emotionally I don't think I was ready", she admitted. Born in the United States to Korean parents, Kim burst into tears as the enormity of her achievement sunk in. Kim's mom and dad would call her "Ipugi" growing up which means "baby girl dragon" in Korean. When the 17-year-old Americansnowboarder isn't wrecking her peers in the halfpipe, contorting and twisting and writing up new laws of gravity on the fly, she's doing normal teen stuff, like tweeting about the particulars of her snacking habits, sometimes in the middle of competition.

Third place went to another young American: 21-year-old Arielle Gold, who casually announced afterward that she had separated her shoulder here on the second day of training, much the way she did on a training run in Sochi four years ago that forced her to scratch from the competition.

On commenter wrote: "You wanna make me cry?" On her first trip down she listened to "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga and scored a 93.75, ESPN reports. "This is just what I've imagined". "I thought I had a chance to bring her to the Olympics, so it was wonderful and very lucky that they matched together". To many, she became a star for sharing her thoughts during the process of becoming an Olympic champion in real time with the rest of the world.

"The one thing I learned was just give everything a shot", she said.

Chloe Kim has mentioned in interviews that she often listens to CL's music and dances to it before she competes.

After the flower ceremony, Kim fought through an overwhelming crush of media, coaches and fans to reach her parents for the first time all day.
